Stats

What is known, and what is still being measured.

Each value shows where it came from and when EA stated it. “Measuring” means we are measuring it on the firing range; “Not published” means no source states it and the firing range cannot read it. Neither is ever zero.

Values on this page were stated between and ; the dataset was last verified . Some were last stated more than a year ago and could have changed without a note.

Spray Check · free, no account

Check your spray with the L-STAR EMG.

Upload a clip or paste a Twitch link. Spray Check estimates how far your aim moved up or down from your first shot over rounds 2–6, so your L-STAR EMG sprays get their own card. It reads the gun from your clip’s HUD, and it is an estimate from gameplay video, not game data.
